Fiat currency is debt. Its in its definition. Gold coins is gold. But you are right i should have said fiat currency not money. Thanks.

Edit maybe fiat currency is only debt when created through borrowing (like most of the currencys right now). But its a bit ambiguous to me because if it was diferent and goverments were alowed to produce money instead of borrowing it from the ones with the monopoly of money creation. The first time they introduce a surplus of currency to the system or the first time the currency apears the party accepting the currency in exchange for value would be making a loan of value to the goverment or an investment.

Well, help me understand what you mean then.

I'm not sure how "stabilizers and therapists are a band-aid that is mostly about getting you hooked and dependent and compliant" can be construed as something specific to your situation.

You claim to speak specifically about your experience first, but then state that you think what apparently worked for you is "better for most people".
You really can't have it both ways.

Also, no one is tone policing (nor commenting on your tone at all), but suggesting there might be repercussions from a specific way of framing the issue for people; This criticism can hardly be called silencing.

I'm glad what you've described previously have worked for you, but you are plainly incorrect in claiming that it is the best approach for most of those affected by mental disorders - which is what people are taking offense with in this thread.
Can you be more specific? All I'm finding is they made the ODROID-W using a specific Broadcom SoC, and Broadcom refused to supply them with it, so Hardkernel had to stop making the ODROID-W after their first production run.

That seems to say that theres not a technical issue with making an rpi-compatible SBC but a political one.
Your third point is really interesting. Personally, I'd love to know if I had cancer one way or another. Even if the advice was "let's watch this, and it may not turn into anything" the mere fact that it is known to exist can make sure my doctor is monitoring everything they can to do their best to get ahead of things if it starts going down a bad path.

I'd rather have the knowledge than not, but I know that doesn't always make sense from a large statistical POV.

Simply knowing you have a certain type of cancer though could also prevent misdiagnosis for other things with similar/related symptoms. Beyond that, if I knew I had a certain type of cancer, you can bet your ass I'd do whatever my doctor recommended to reduce my risk for the future. So it could be a great way to convince people to live a healthier lifestyle (albeit out of fear) which I'd be willing to bet would cause them to live longer potentially than if they had not made lifestyle changes.
According to the android session this morning even apps compiled against older SDKs will still have permissions that can be disabled when run in M, so they were encouraging everyone to test apps on M even if they weren't going to release their app built against the M SDK anytime soon.
There is ongoing management and maintenance of the ContainerShip cluster itself, but not for the Cassandra cluster per se. You can push out a new version of the docker image for your applications or roll them back if you need to upgrade. You can easily scale the cluster up or down as necessary. Is there a particular management feature you'd really like to see?

Edit: typo
I wouldn't know :) It must be a weird task to try to translate something as bizarre as names from one language to another. Harry isn't exactly a distinctive name. It's rather common, like the name John. I wonder, why not pick a traditional Greek name for the protagonist rather than trying to find something that seems similar to the English name?

So today it is single data center in the case of everything but AWS. We allow you to automatically launch a ContainerShip cluster in AWS using https://cloud.containership.io. During setup you select a VPC ID, Subnet IDs, Security Groups, and AZs to launch into. In the near future we are going to fulfill your desires as we are working on features that let you easily span multiple providers or migrate between them.
If they can do it in real-time, this can replace the LIDAR used in self-driving cars, which can reduce the cost and make them affordable.
Damn lies and statistics. The Android dashboard numbers are always super pessimistic on upgrade rate.

I am the lead for an app with >250,000 installs. Over 45% of our usage is coming from Lollipop. The rest is JB & KK. We see <6% ICS for the last 30 days.

I know other major apps that have even better numbers.

Looking at my data, L usage was basically nil in January 2015. There was slow growth from there until April, when we saw an inflection point in the number of Lollipop users. This aligned with the release of several Samsung updates that pushed Lollipop to some of the most popular devices out there.

If you want publicly available numbers, I would rely on Mixpanel[1] not the Android dashboard. And even this understates it, as of writing this comment Mixpanel is not including 5.1 in the Lollipop numbers which is cutting 2-3% off that. [2]

What Is the U.S. Doing About Wassenaar, and Why Do We Need to Fight It?
So just to clarify, there's two problems for sysadmins to fix, right?

1. Your HTTPS cipher list may include EXPORT ciphers that make the initial DH bits low enough to break.

2. Your ephemeral DH parameters in your EDH ciphers may be low enough to break.

For the first problem, you need to add !EXPORT to your ciphers list. For the second problem, you need to generate a larger dhparam file via `openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048` and include that in your server's https settings.

So the million dollar question is why apache and nginx make these settings the default?

Apache's default ciphers are openssl's DEFAULT. Shouldn't they at least add in some !MD5 !aNLULL and !EXPORT[1]? Nginx's default ciphers are currently HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5, which still includes EXPORT[2]. For ephemeral DH, it appears that Apache >2.4.7 uses the same bit length of the main ssl key[3]. Can anyone confirm? For nginx, they use the openssl default[4], which apparently is still at 1024 bits :(

These defaults should be updated. Anyone have links to bug reports requesting these changes?

It's neither. However, using what's described in the post, it's possible to write an exploit for that CVE, as well as a few others.

The "basket" they use for CPI calculation is a genuinely difficult problem, since what people buy changes over time. Electronics is a great illustration - if I included 40" televisions last year, should I compare the price of this year's 40" television to last year's, or should I compare the price of this year's 50" television to last year's 40" because that's what people are buying? Both ways are right and both ways are wrong, depending on what you want the number to mean.

But even allowing for these difficulties, I still think the government keeps changing how inflation is calculated in an effort to make itself look better.

When real estate increases dramatically they measure rents, which are (in a hot real estate market) subsidized by people trying to cash in on capital appreciation. In a declining real estate market with rising rents they switch to "rent equivalents" based in some part on the cost of real estate.

You can hide pretty big increases by switching what you measure mid-stream, particularly if you just graph the YoY official inflation rate (including changes) without going back and recalculating every year using the same methodology.

And then there's the reporting. The number you hear on the news may or may not include "the volatile food and energy sectors" depending on which is lower.

There's a reason it seems prices are rising faster than the CPI reported on your drive home. They are rising faster.

When does this stop? When have people had enough of the secrecy, the continuous infantilization of the general population, both nationally and internationally? How little empathy and respect do our supposed representatives have for us?

I feel powerless, the constant stream of such news and underhanded measures makes me sad beyond words. It's one despicable act after another, it just seems near-impossible to catch up, which from the looks of it is exactly what our "democratic" governments are trying to achieve, i.e. overwhelm and distract us.

When governments get to unilaterally decide when, where and how democracy applies, they are no longer democracies, no longer legitimate representatives of the people, and therefore no longer our governments.

They're definitely way faster now. The last time I ordered a non-Prime item, the estimated delivery time was 7-10 days shipping from an Amazon warehouse somewhere. Following the tracking information, it looked like they just delayed the processing for 7 days. Because the package was transferred to UPS 7 days after I placed the order, and it arrived at my door in less than 2 days after that.
That's not true at all. React can replace any DOM element, and you can have multiple instances of React running on a page.

React describes itself as a UI library rather than a framework. When I reviewed it [1], that seemed fairly accurate. I found it trivial to separate my React UI code from the rest of my application.

Being unable to afford the books and software needed to learn programming was actually why I had started contributing to open-source (after I did finally learn).

I had learned just before Linux had started gaining prominence. If it wasn't for a cheap "Learn C++ in 24 hours" book with a free non-commercial copy of Borland C++ 5.02 I'd likely have not been able to really learn programming at all, at least until I later went to college. I'll note that the book itself was essentially useless; it was the .hlp file included with BC++ documenting a subset of the Win32 API that helped me along.

Things are much better now for aspiring (but poor) programmers. But they can be better still, and the cost of learning materials are certainly a key part of that.

What are you basing this comment on? The app I build had thousands of Lollipop users today alone.

Depending on how you define "version", 2 versions back is Jelly Bean. 90% of our users are on Jelly Bean or newer.

3 versions back is Ice Cream Sandwich, which in my case includes 99% of our users, and we only dropped Gingerbread support Christmas of 2014.
You can always come up with exceptional counter-examples in any argument about probabilities and making cost/benefit judgements. As I noted elsewhere, my experience has apparently been very different to some here, because I'm still waiting to see the project where the entire direction suddenly shifted so fundamentally that it wound up writing off significant amounts of code that was now useless. (Just for the record, I'm also still waiting to see the house where the rebar is in changed to require a pool where the planning consent stated a house was to be built, though I've seen a lot of houses with the rebar in where the walls then went up a short time later without having to rebuild the entire foundation because the rebar was already in.)

I've written elsewhere in this HN discussion about a few different types of project where you can't just refactor your way out of trouble if you go too far down the wrong path. The cost of doing so can easily become more expensive than just throwing out the whole thing and starting again.

This isn't FUD, it's a few decades of professional programming experience talking. They just happen not to be the same few decades that some of the other posters here have had. And as once again I seem to keep writing now, that is why it is unwise to generalise too far from personal experience or a small anecdotal base to an entire field as vast as programming.

Companies tend to accumulate multiple product lines. It seems Avago's strategy is to buy companies with high growth products, then sell off the less high growth product lines to others (which probably helps finance the acquisition to some extent).

Put another way, he's exploiting management's tendency to not focus on high growth products, by not selling off the profitable, but slower growing products themselves.

The result of this is that the high growth is diluted over a broader base revenue made up of slower growth companies... which lowers the companies value to investors (PEG is a common measure of the value of a company, which is combination of price, earnings and growth, so growth increases the multiple.)

If there were no friction this would be good, because the slower growing products will be merged with other companies who probably have the same product line, and then they can be combined to produce another generation that has the best of both previous companies products.

Alas, there is always friction in human things and thus this strategy has risk for all involved,

That's some awesome data, thanks for sharing! I have to imagine geo matters here too. China, Latin America, and Africa have huge Android growth (though even then a huge chunk must be AOSP) but I would guess it's mostly older OS versions coming from the smaller OEMs that are spawning so much of the growth. Who knows if those would ever be updated, but it's less relevant unless you're a pervasive, global app (like FB or Gmail).

We'll see, of course, but I tend to think that the self-reinforcing nature of social media has different market characteristics than, say, mainframes. Unfortunately, the most obvious comparison--telephone networks--hasn't been a free market for a long time.

Though to that point, interoperability between social networks would certainly be a nail in Facebook's coffin. As soon as the service commoditizes to a simple portal all bets are off.

Springtime Just Got a Little More Exciting for Breckenridge
I don't find having varying levels of data and confidence about the likely future directions of a project to be "clutter", nor do I find they tend to complicate whatever I'm trying to develop right now. On the contrary, I often find it useful to have more context and frame of reference about what I'm doing, even though often I may choose not to act on that knowledge immediately for much the same reasons that others here are arguing for always following YAGNI.

Please remember that my argument is not that you should always try to anticipate future requirements or over-engineer designs to cope with every hypothetical you can think of. My position is merely that you should weigh the costs of acting unnecessarily now against the costs of not having acted when it turned out to be useful, and make a decision according to your best estimate of how likely it is that you will benefit from following either path.

YMMV, of course, and certainly sometimes the decision will be different to others.
