One issue where "pure" containers have an advantage over VMs is IO.

For network intensive workloads, there is a choice between the efficiency of SR-IOV and the control & manageability of a virtual NIC like virtio-net. In order to get efficiency, you need to use SR-IOV, which (the last time I checked) still made lots of admins nervous when running untrusted guests. Sure, the guest could be isolated from internal resources via a vlan, but it could still be launching malicious code onto the internet, and it may be difficult to track its traffic for billing purposes, especially if you want to differentiate between external & internal traffic. SR-IOV NICs also have limited number of queues and VFs, so it is hard to over-commit servers. So in order to maintain control of guests, you end up doubling the kernel overhead by using a virtual NIC (eg, virtio-net) in the VM and a physical NIC in the hypervisor. Now you have twice the overhead, twice the packet pushing, more memory copies, VM exits, etc.

The nice thing about containers is that there is no need to choose. You get the efficiency of running just a single kernel, along with all the accounting and firewalling rules to maintain control & be able to bill the guest.

> ADD: A lot of the myth of the 10 or 100x developer is just a really, really capable guy with a supporting team that is able to meet all of their needs and clear all of their obstacles. The team (including our star) is the cool and irreplaceable part, but the "genius" or "boy wonder" gets all the good press.

I would argue this is almost always true especially in todays world of ever increasing software complexity. Building services, handling ops, fixing bugs, high level architecture, low level architecture, front end, back end, etc... are just impossible for a single person to ever be 10x at across the board. It takes a team to deliver software.

I look at it a lot like Michael Jordan and the Bulls in the 90s. MJ was the 10x player, but without the other hall of famers and all stars on the team they would not have won like they did. The same also goes for the rest of the team.
You could play any kind of turn based games over planets. In the future even non-turn based games are going to be played, although indirectly.

A fun game would a real time military strategy game where the delay for both planets is artificially made the same. Then the command delay becomes part of the game, but the game still runs in real time with information updating as soon as it is available.

3 weird design tricks
I would rather see the money go into education, so instead of being stuck at a minimum wage job, those workers will have a chance at a real career.

The problem is that the economy will catch up to the raise eventually. Most businesses will start charging more to compensate for the increased labor costs and everyone making more than minimum wage will now have less spending money.
Sounds about right. Everyone just bites their lips and puts up with that person's behaviour because they are afraid of losing her technical chops.

For anyone interested in why we age and what research needs to be done to cure it, I'd recommend this article

The most interesting part is that a relatively simple medical procedure called plasmapheresis or plasma exchange, might be used for rejuvenation. The process would be to exchange the blood plasma of an old person with that of a young person many times over a period of time.

The blood plasma contains signaling molecules and there is strong evidence that some of them are used to synchronize the current age throughout the body, perhaps to a master clock somewhere. This causes telomeres to be shortened, DNA repair mechanisms to be turned off, stem cells to stop dividing etc. If the clock could be reset with young plasma, the stem cells would be reset to a young state and can start dividing again to regenerate tissue. Experiments on rats suggests this is indeed happening and a number of academic labs and even a startup called alkahest is now working on getting this tested in humans.
Tl;dr: The two survivors plan to marry.
I don't know that you could count on TV programming to have an appreciable impact on education levels. Additionally, TLC was good for years before it fell into reality show garbage, so it's not like the lack of results is the fault of capitalism.
(CoreOS employee, would love to hear other opinions)

Three main things:

1. everything that systemd provides (dependency chain, common logging, cgroup management, socket activation, timers)

2. designed for sane management from 1 to 1000s of machines. Easy PXE booting, etc.

3. self-updating (you can turn this off!). State of the art for servers is "never touch it again" or a multi-day fire drill to patch hundreds of systems for the next heartbleed.

Basically, CoreOS should remove a lot of the tedious upkeep tasks from your ops team so they can focus on moving your infrastructure forward.

I'm, not sure I agree that the solution is always to use a schema... In general, yes, it's a good idea. However, it seems to me that, in this particular example, the correct format could be determined by the device_id in the JSON formatted text. That is, the date format when device_id=123 is X, the date format when device_id=watch_345is Y, etc... If there are a small number of device_ids then it's a workable solution, maybe even preferable if the amount of data to be transferred needs to be minimized.

However, once JSON was used, then I would almost certainly have put in a schema/format/version field in a header.

Nope. I lived the rat race for 7 years before I learned enough to get out and do exactly what you're doing. If you're already successful enough at consulting remotely and starting lifestyle businesses to be making a living at it, then there's little benefit to going to the valley.

There are two exceptions, though. The first: if you want to start a fast growing startup with venture capital funding. For that, you still need to go to the valley. The second: if the customers for your lifestyle businesses are silicon valley companies, then you want to go to where the highest concentration of your customers are.
Everything has it's place for sure. In my case my coworker and I inherited a rails app a contractor built. He did a good job getting a product out quickly, but it was definitely rushed. So I'm going through the usual learning pains (ex: I didnt know ReactJS, now I will) but I'm also encountering painpoints in how our schema is designed. We just log what we don't have time to refactor and move forward because of our labor constraint.
I got the feeling that he was pointing out "a lot" as quite an understatement :)
If you're an actor and want the most opportunities, you go to Hollywood. In the same vein, if you're in tech and you want the most opportunities, you should go to Silicon Valley.

Just like Hollywood, Silicon Valley can be a very poisonous environment. So it's a double-edged sword, because there are many unhealthy things about living here (materialism, greed, house prices, wealth inequality, etc). But if you're looking strictly at opportunity in tech, nothing surpasses it.

That said, you can definitely have a happy and prosperous life outside of Silicon Valley. You don't need to be here at all to be happy and fulfilled, but if you want a plethora of opportunity, your best bet it here.
The article is delightful, but regarding the title "Will Computers Redefine the Roots of Math?"

No.

Math is about human understanding, elegance and beauty.

Computers may be useful tools, and perhaps they will be of even greater assistance in mathematics moving forward, but Alan Turing and others have shown us they can't do it all. Math is a fundamentally human endeavor. We will have to transcend modern computers with something like strong AI before that can change.
As "the legal council in question", this is actually not the problem at all :)

There are actually remarkably simpler problem than this:

For starters,

Everyone in the world, using go, would now have to reproduce two copyright notices, instead of one.

If they messed up, intel could sue them :)

Exporting that liability to the rest of the world would be irresponsible.

In any case, it's not just about mixed licenses.
In a good open source project, everyone contributes on the same terms.
Period.

In that case, I would argue that wordpress is not the issue here. It is your client base that does not want to manage their own website which means they are not ideal wordpress users because wordpress as a CMS means that you the user can at least do some content management yourself.

I have come across many potential clients who say "can you do it all for me, i don't want to do anything" and personally for me, they are not good fits to use wordpress. But when someone says "look I just need an easy to use interface to manage my website, content", then I give them wordpress.
Well, there is something to be said for the 'worse is better' approach.
I have no personal desire to start or run a project services company, so it's not something I would fund. My interest is from the standpoint of understanding and accelerating how teams perform. (Or don't)

Also there's an interesting relationship between the people, the team, and the company. As it turns out, all are important equally, just in different ways. You really need a pre-existing company to do this.

Finally, I don't care what anybody tells you, work in this area is experimental. Everybody and their brother has a pet theory and most of it is based on limited/non-existent sample sizes or the conflating a plethora of data with an abundance of understanding. If people were robots, we'd just hire robots.
I think the point of the article is that what you described is reality and the "We only hire the best" is the illusion.
> This is a careful balance of the burden you put on family and friends and the well being of you children with the balance favoring your kids.

If the balance "favours your kids", presumably meaning that the new caretakers feel overwhelmed by that responsibility, I guess they could refuse that responsibility. I guess having that wish be in your will might pressure them sufficiently to actually go through with that responsibility, but that kind of pressuring somehow doesn't feel right either.
That sounds a lot like minimizing the issue here. I can't recall a single case where U.S. citizens stole Chinese high technology, brought it back to the U.S., started a company, and then sold it the U.S. government. That is what this is about - cut and dried.
I think the sad truth is that we keep repeating the mistakes generation after generation -- every time a little different -- every time the same.

You may or may not find the documentary "Stray Dog"[1] interesting. It opened my eyes to how much pain is still left in the US from the Vietnam war -- and how much has been added, and is added with every war since then.

I've been opposed to pretty much every military action by Nato/UN I'm aware of -- but that does not mean I don't have great sympathy and respect for those that served in those actions. I strongly believe very few participated with anything but the best of intentions. Certainly none of the veterans I've talked to.

I'm not actually sure I would label is at a good movie as such -- I would probably have made different editing choices. I get the impression that the director may have been too close to the material. But I found it interesting -- and that is perhaps the most important aspect of any documentary.
In my case I have one car and one account but my wife is usually driving in the morning and drops me off. So those trips get chopped in half and messes up the data. I basically use it only as a novelty at this point.

I could set it up on her phone but then we have the two phones problem. Obviously she isn't the driver all the time so I can't just delete it from my phone either.

Ideal would be to connect two phones to one account and if one phone disconnects then resume the trip on the other phone. If the data is in their cloud anyway this should be possible.
"No, it really doesn't. People have been combining BSD and "other" stuff for decades. "

Okay.

The risk is:
If you don't reproduce the copyright notice, and Intel doesn't like you, they could come after you for copyright infringement.

Just because you don't hear about it on reddit or hacker news doesn't mean people don't have private enforcement actions over this stuff.

Shocking, I know.

Now, don't get me wrong, Intel is a wonderful company and I love them, but exporting that kind of possible liability onto the rest of the world would be pretty irresponsible, regardless of how nice a company Intel is.

Past that, the other part is "everyone should be contributing on the same terms to an open source project".

Otherwise, you'll soon have a million copyright different notices to reproduce.
Why are we so keen on redefining words? I'm genuinely curious about this. Is it political correctness? If not, what is it?

"Stupid" is pretty much defined as the opposite of "smart". You might be thinking of "unwise" or "ignorant" or "inexperienced". Or maybe you're thinking of "untalented" or "incompetent". None of those are "stupid" and their opposites aren't "smart".

For example, I'm good at programming, I have a good ear for music and I absolutely suck at drawing. None of that necessarily makes me smart or stupid. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure people wouldn't call me "stupid at drawing".

"Smart" and "stupid" are measures of a characteristic, just like "tall" and "short".

One of the problems with this is that Rust's guarnatees usually really affect your design. I'd imagine that a bulk C -> Rust translator would have to use `unsafe` all over the place.

What's in it for the employee?
Yes, some employees' obsession with people having to love their jobs is so weird. I can't imagine someone looking at a job description and exclaiming "wow, I love this!". Maybe after a year, though. When they actually know what they're supposed to do, and are invested in the work on some level.
If you're a 5-10 person startup, don't you want to have the person who can write version 1.0 of your product by himself in a couple of weeks? Then, when you start having customers, have a bigger team and redo things cleanly.

There's another important fallacy.

> Elections are flawed and can’t be redeemed

Elections in the US may be flawed, but there is quite a bit of evidence that other electoral systems -- particularly, ones where the main legislative body isn't elected by FPTP in single-member districts -- work much better at providing meaningful democratic accountability, which is where the article sees the failure of elections.

So, while I accept the conclusions that US elections are flawed, I don't accept the more general claim, or the claim that even US elections can't be redeemed.

Sortition is interesting, and may be useful, and is certainly something that it makes sense to try on a smaller scale. But better election systems are both a less radical change and one more supported as effective in the modern world and conditions by evidence which provides a clear idea of how to structure them.
I've played around with Coq before, and it's really hard to work with mathematics in it. If you start with a system of axioms in first order logic(like groups), it's pretty easy to prove single things. But once you start wanting to quantify over all subgroups, you're in trouble.

I remember seeing a presentation where someone challenged the viewer to write a simple proof of the infinitude of the primes. I recommend you try it. I studied math in college, have an interest in formal proofs, and have written Coq code, so surely I could bang out a simple proof like that. I think I got stuck when I wanted to claim, "Given a natural number n, x <= n implies x = 0 or x = 1 or ... or x = n". It's possible that I have more experience now and could complete that proof if I tried again, but this is really the kind of thing they teach on the first day of an introduction to proofs course. I can't see mathematicians using theorem provers until they're easier to work with.

So I sympathize with and am rooting for Voevodsky here: There's no reason why theorem provers have to be a pain to use - we just need better foundations, better tools, and more experience using them.
Fossil fuels subsidised by $10M a minute, says IMF
I don't think the test is meaningless---it just doesn't mean what many people claim it means. It is one way of mapping people onto a 16-part space which, for half of people who take it, remains consistent across sittings of the test. At a minimum it means that, for any two people with the same type indicator, they answer Myers-Briggs questions in similar ways.

It's the implications of that re: job/relationship/life performance that have been oversold.

Of course, the same benefits could be gained by classifying people according to almost any set of questions. The MBTI exam isn't really worth _money_.

The binary nature of the questions hardly seems like a problem in that aggregating many binary questions together can yield a scale with many more gradations.
Well the dj would presumably be searching within the theoretical space, since he wouldn't have access to the list of actual serial numbers printed.
I was unaware that entertainment providers were responsible for "helpful" studies with nothing of lesser importance permitted. Thank you for setting the record straight.
Oh, maybe I didn't read it well enough. I thought he was pulling a bill out of his own pocket and then checking to see if anyone had a matching serial number.

Does anyone know if the serial numbers are printed in order? I didn't see the answer in a very cursory web search. If they are, presumably it would be trivial for such a contest to avoid ever paying out -- just choose from the upper end of the SN range.
My grandma didn't need a will.

My mom was on her checking account (because my mom took care of a lot of her finances) so my mom automatically got all of her money in the world - $900. The only other thing she owned was her house. Her will said it was to be sold and the money split between her children. Exactly zero of her children were interested in the house, selling the house, living in the house, or anything to do with the house. So the house was abandoned along with all the stuff in her house. My grandma knew that would happen (the house was literally falling apart - if code enforcement saw it then it would be condemned) but she made a will because she was "supposed" to.

Thanks, callmeed. I built this mostly as a technical challenge. But, I have studied the market and jpeg 2000 encoding and decoding speed is definitely a pain point in a number of areas: in particular digital cinema post-production and broadcasting. Regarding open source, I initially planned to open source this, but after spending such an enormous amount of time and energy, with nobody in the community interested in helping, I changed my plan to closed source. As for patents, as you probably know image compression is one of the most encumbered areas of software dev. I am very much opposed to patents, so I wouldn't be interested in getting any.
there is no exact base 1, as the concept of base depends on at least one value and zero. no point in having bases if you don't have zero.

the only system with base 1 that exist is "counting" (go to wikipedia for the proper mathy name). where all occurrences of the only symbol get summed. want to say 9? draw 9 symbols. 9 knots on a rope or stones on a tablet.

only that then 1 is the more obvious choice if you really want to push for some parity with proper bases.
<a href="http://naturesmedicine.eu/product.php?id_product=48">Gymnema Sylvestre (Meshashringi)</a> is helpful in the treatment of diabetes. Specific herb to increase insulin production in pancreas. Helps to regulate blood glucose levels and enhances glucose tolerance.

The leaf extracts contain gymnemic acid, which is known to inhibit hyperglycemia (increased sugar level in the blood).

The principle constituent of Meshashringi is gymnemic acid, which has anti-diabetic properties. It reduces excessive blood sugar.

It has also been shown to have a regenerative effect on pancreatic beta cells and is insulinotropic, which means it stimulates or affects the production and activity of insulin.

Meshashringi helps decrease the craving for sugar. It temporarily abolishes the taste of sugar and helps neutralize excessive sugar present in the body in diabetes mellitus.

Eating the fresh leaves numbs the taste buds to the sense of sweet or bitter
Hence the name means 'sweet destroyer'.
It also reduces appetite.
